ABOUT THE ROLE

The Sales Support Administrator is the first point of contact for customers and callers with inquiries, requests or other needs related to DATTCO's School Bus division. This role handles general inquiry and complaint call volume, coordinates day-to-day charter administration, and manages key financial coordination, including bookings, revenue coding, and accounts receivable/collections. The coordinator’s role supports the success of the Division by freeing up time for the School Bus Charter Sales Manager and other sales staff to focus on relationship-building and growth. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, comfortable on the phone, good with numbers and process, and enjoys solving problems for customers.

WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS

This role is often the first — and sometimes the only — voice a customer hears from DATTCO. By handling calls, keeping bookings accurate, and staying on top of receivables, this position protects the customer experience while keeping the sales team's time focused on selling, not administration. This position is essential to support the continued growth of DATTCO's School Bus division while reinforcing the company's reputation for outstanding customer service.
